Message: [QUOTE="joct, post: 1008293, member: 2001"] I'm torn on this one. I get the momentum thing and how it factors in. But is Tennessee beating UMass and Mercer really due to momentum, or the fact that they weren't that much different from UMass even though they were a much lower seed. At the same time, they have to travel, and play 2 days later, sometimes in the afternoon. It is funny how during the regular season short turnarounds while the other team rests are a disadvantage, but in the tournaments they are an advantage. Remember all the complaints when we had to play Maryland 48 hours after playing at Duke, while Maryland hadn't played in 6 days? JB especially complained about that, while he doesn't like the buy in tournaments. Following this logic, couldn't Maryland have complained that we had momentum while they were stale by having to wait around for a week? [/QUOTE]
